Sagra · October 10, 2026 – October 18, 2026 · Casola Valsenio (Ravenna)
Step back in time at the Festa dei Frutti Dimenticati di Casola Valsenio, a traditional event dedicated to rediscovering forgotten fruits. Held on the second and third weekends of October, local farmers in Casola Valsenio showcase and sell autumn fruits harvested from ancient trees that have survived agricultural changes, or from new plants cultivated due to renewed interest in traditional peasant cuisine. This special, strictly zero-kilometer market is a deep dive into the rural world, where the flavors and aromas of yesteryear blend with the vibrant colors of autumn. Here, the ancient essences of Romagna tradition transform into culinary delights, cosmetics, and unique experiences: think jujubes, 'pere volpine' (fox pears), cornelian cherries, arbutus berries, wild herbs, and the essential sweet chestnut, prepared in countless ways. The festival program features tastings of indigenous wines, forgotten fruits, and wild herbs, along with workshops, a food stand offering themed dishes, cooking demonstrations, product exhibitions, folk performances, and live music.
